and thank you for joining us. let me say that one of the two cars involved on the lower level of i-270 has been towed away and the other one is a ways behind and that looks like the front end is crushed in. we're hearing that some of the cars may have swerved to miss the buses falling and this tour bus fell about 45 feet off the flyway and is shut down from the beltway to democracy and will be for many hours to come, brian. >> and we don't have any idea who the passengers are and where that were in our air or going? >> and -- our area and where they were going? >> there are initial reports we're hearing that in talking to some of the kids, they might be out of carlisle, pennsylvania, and that may have been a type of school trip. what we're told is that they were on i-270 and had not pulled off to the mall or something, the montgomery mall which is here. they were going straight down i- 270 and it was on this hov flyway when the bus careened and plunged 45 feet below. >> all right, will thomas live in bethesda, mar
